ABOUT THE BANDS

FLY MY PRETTIES

The Fly My Pretties cast for the North West Wine, Food & Beer Festival on Saturday Feburary 10, 2018 is another collection of some of New Zealand’s most exciting new musical talent, along with some FMP favourites.

FULL CAST: Barnaby Weir, A Girl Named Mo, Bailey Wiley, Miloux, Ria Hall, Age Pryor, Iraia Whakamoe (The Nudge), James Coyle (The Nudge), Jarney Murphy (The Black Seeds), Laughton Kora, Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo), Nigel Patterson (The Black Seeds), & Ryan Prebble (The Nudge).

This one-off summer show will treat the audience to a two-hour set, which will consist of Fly My Pretties classics & their latest album String Theory.

JULIA DEANS
From honey-sweet falsetto to menacing growl, the voice of Julia Deans has offered light and shade to a variety of musical endeavours over the years. From fronting Fur Patrol’s muscular pop-rock to her electro-pop stylings with Tiki Taane; from co-conspirator with renowned supergroup The Adults to sultry chanteuse in Silo Theatre's production BREL; Deans has never shied from adding new strings to her bow.

The North West Wine, Beer & Food Festival will see Julia Deans preview a new collection of songs, set to be released in early 2018, along with favourites from her back catalogue, including her time in Fur Patrol and the Taite Music Prize-nominated solo album Modern Fables.

ALAE
Alae is what you get when you mix multi-instrumentalists Alex Farrell-Davey and Allister Meffan, two high school mates who are talented musicians in their own right. Add to the mix Jayden Lee on drums, and a new inspiration is born.

Their brand of intimate folk-inspired sounds has seen them play to audiences across New Zealand and Australia in just over two years performing together. The release of new single ‘Too Strung Up’ on November 10 is set to continue to grow the profile of this truly talented outfit.
